Cuz: The Life and Times of Michael A. by Danielle S. Allen
5.0
This was such an intensely sad -true- story of a life wasted and lost that I cannot say I "loved" it, but is was brilliantly told.
When Danielle Allen's "baby" cousin, Michael, was arrested at 15 for an attempted carjacking, he was tried as an adult and sentenced to 13 years. Michael served 11. Three years after his release, he was shot and killed. Why?
Why did he end up dead? Why did he waste away in prison? And why at 15 did he threaten someone with a gun and attempt to steal his car in the first place?
Danielle Allen searches for answers to these question and for the keys to his real story. Why is the question. Read "Cuz" to find the answers.
